Chapter 50: Not Coming Back


Bella's POV

I have calmed down a lot since this afternoon. Edward is holding me in his arms making me feel safe and secure. Finally Edward forgiving me has lifted a weight off my shoulders. Edward has also apologized for ever leaving me in the first place. We have now promised each other that we will never leave again. If we have to go we go together. I don't think I'm strong enough to leave him again anyway. Edward told me his family also want to apologize but I'm just not ready for that. I'm not ready o be part of a family yet. How I'm I going to tell Edward that?


Edward's POV

I can feel something is bothering Bella. We have been lying in the meadow for hours now and Bella has finally calmed down. I will never leave again and I'll never let her leave again. I feel happier then I have felt in weeks now that Bella is back in my arms.

"Bella sweetheart what's wrong?" I ask her gently

She turns to look at me.

"I don't want to go back yet", she thinks in a whisper

"Go back where?" I ask her

"Back to the family. I'm not ready to go back. I think I need a break from the family to put myself back together. I'm too scared of a group of vampire I wouldn't be able to stay home", Bella thinks

Oh Bella. I think to myself and pull Bella back into my arms. I hold her tightly.

"So you want to go away and get your head on properly?" I ask her

"Yes. I just need time to work things out. Without the family being around", Bell thinks

"Well I'm coming with you. Where ever you go I'll follow you. I love you", I say kissing her again

"What about your family? We could be gone for a very long time. Do you still want to go?" Bella thinks

"Yes. I can see that you need the time away. It is a good idea for us to leave for a while", I reply

"Are you sure you're ok with it?" Bella thinks

"I'm more then sure. But we will have to go back and get our stuff", I say

She bites her lip nervously.

"Don't worry we'll make sure they are out hunting. We'll be gone before they even know it", I add

"Ok lets go", Bella says speaking aloud for the first time.

I grab her hand and we start running again. Bella's wounds are now completely healed and we stop to hunt again. We arrive at the house 20 hours later.

"No one's home", she says, "And they won't be home for 2 hours. Emmett and Felix are going to get into a fight"

I chuckle, "That works for me"

We quickly walk inside and start to gather our things. We find Bella's rucksack on the floor of my room. Well add least we don't have to go searching for it. I start packing my personal effects and some clothes for the trip. I don't pack a lot I can buy more clothes from where we are going. I quickly toss all my stuff into my Volvo and go back inside and write a letter to the family. Once I'm done I see Bella waiting for me by the door. I smile at her. I may love my family but Bella will always come first. Always. We both quickly jump into my car.

"Ready love?" I ask her

She smiles at me, "Ready"

I floor it out of the drive way and out of the city. We head off together. As long as we have each other we will be all right…


Carlisle's POV

It has been two days since Edward run off with Bella and we haven't heard from them since. All of our visitors have decided to stay and wait for Bella to come home. They want to know that she is all right. We are all now watching Emmett and Felix fight both are determined to prove they are the strongest vampire. I can't seem to shake the feeling something has happened.

"Is everything alright?" Esme asks me

"I don't know I can't help back think that something has changed", I reply

"Maybe we should head back to the house now", Alice suggests

"Maybe your right. Ok everyone let's head back to the house", I call

One look at my face and they all quickly stop what they are doing and follow me to the house. Once we get close we smell two familiar scents.

"Edward? Bella?" Esme calls out

We don't get an answer we all quickly walk inside and they are nowhere to be found. Alice dashes up the stairs to look for them but comes down in seconds.

"All of Edward's stuff is gone alone with Bella's rucksack", Alice says looking upset.

"Carlisle this is on the piano", Aro says handing me an envelope.

I quickly tear it open and begin to read out loud.

Dear Family,

I'm sorry we have to say goodbye like this. But it is just the way things go sometimes. Bella has decided she needs some space to get her head in order. So I have decided to come with her. We don't know how long we will be good but it is a good chance that it will be for a while. We and both sorry for the pain our leaving will course all of you. Including the Volturi, Peter, Charlotte, The pack and everyone else.

We would like to say few things.

By the time I'm done reading the letter all the girls are dry sobbing on the floor. They left. My daughter and my son left. I can understand where they are coming from. But they should have stayed here. We could of helped Bella. By the sounds of it they are not coming back. What are we going to do without them?...
